standards in business. It aspires for a level playing field where companies

collective action, the Initiative brings together businesses and industry

Integrity Watch
Afghanistan’s experiences in monitoring reconstruction and development projects
in Afghanistan have proven that monitoring in a conflict- and corruption-ridden
environment has generated a flexible model for community-based monitoring.The
Community-Based Monitoring program promotes social accountability through
community mobilization and social audits. The program empowers communities to
monitor infrastructure projects that are implemented in their area. The aim of
this program is to empower citizens in holding authorities and aid entities
accountable and to create active and responsible citizenship by decreasing the
gap between the state, aid actors and the population.

In 2012, Democracy
Education Center (DEMO) launched Check My Service (CMS) program in Mongolia. It
is a social accountability initiative, which aims to assess the transparency
and accountability of public services by service recipients through the
Community Score Card (CSC) tool. CSC is a community based monitoring tool -a
hybrid of the techniques of social audit, community monitoring and citizen
report cards. It has a strong focus on empowerment and accountability as it
includes an interface meeting between service providers and the community that
allows for immediate feedback on quality and adequacy of services provided in
the community. Since its start in 2012 and up to date, DEMO implemented series
of the following initiatives such as Check My University, Check My School and
